More quotes by Mother Teresa
In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.
Mother Teresa
Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.
Mother Teresa
Suffering, if it is accepted together, borne together, is joy.
Mother Teresa
If people spent one hour per week in Eucharistic Adoration, abortion would be ended
Mother Teresa
We are called upon not to be successful, but to be faithful.
Mother Teresa
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
Mother Teresa
Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
Mother Teresa
Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.
Mother Teresa
We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.
Mother Teresa
I think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.
Mother Teresa
Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
Pray for me that I not loosen my grip on the hands of Jesus even under the guise of ministering to the poor.
Mother Teresa
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Let me thus praise You in the way You love best: by shining on those around me. Let me preach You without preaching, not by words, but by my example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You. Amen.
Mother Teresa
God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens. And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be.
Mother Teresa
We have only today. Let us begin
Mother Teresa
My secret is simple -- I pray.
Mother Teresa
We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God
Mother Teresa
No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
Mother Teresa
We have very little, so we have nothing to be preoccupied with. The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have, the more free you are.
Mother Teresa
